Yeah but searching for "myadmin" on here http://www.archlinux.org/packages/ (NOT the dev site) reproduces it 100% of the time.

I wonder... do we have some sort of apache level protections in place for people trying to hit like "/phpmyadmin/" on the server? It could be butting up against something like that
